The Real OK Boomer - Engage Lyrics

It's time to stop moaning
It's time to stop crying over spilt f*cking Brexit
It's time to stop ignoring your opponents
Or worse, trying to silence them
It's time to stop banning people from speaking in universities
It's time to stop thinking that reposting an article
On your Facebook feed is political engagement
That banning a gymnast from doing what he's good at because he insulted someone's religion
Somehow achieved something
It's time to realise that reading The Guardian doesn't make you a liberal
That retweeting Greenpeace doesn't lower your carbon footprint
And if my mansplaining is triggering you
You can either f*ck off to your safe space
Or you can engage, and debate me, and tell me what I'm getting wrong
Because Trump just won the White House
Being offended doesn't work anymore
Throwing insults doesn't work anymore
The only thing that works is f*cking bothering
Doing something
And all you have to do is engage in the debate
Talk to people who think differently to you and persuade them of your argument
It's so easy, and the left have lost the art
Stop thinking that everyone who disagrees with you is evil, or racist, or sexist, or stupid
And talk to them
Persuade them otherwise
Because if you don't, I'll tell you what you get
You get President Trump
